It would override the list of supported versions, and then build for all installed (listed) ones (instead of only what postgresql-common dictates). I'd think this is more a system override than something that should be configured in the package, i.e. I'd put the override file in /etc/postgresql-common/supported-versions (and ~/.pgsomething and maybe also $PGVERSIONS). This might be my "pgapt-centeric" viewpoint only though, and a source-level way to say "I don't care about the official versions, please build for this instead" also makes sense.
